Forward Motion
Bless me internet, for I have sinned. It’s been two weeks since my last blog post. I’ve tried to chronicle my journey before, always stopping at times like these. But what makes this time different is that I promised myself I would write even when I struggle with what I’m trying to do. Even if…

Get Busy Doing What You Love
Short post today, Wednesday, April 19th, 2017. Weigh-In Day. 252. No big hurrah, but the pounds are coming down. These past couple of days have been really good.
